Pros

DG has a good environment, is family oriented, and has an on-site gym. It's located in an excellent place to live and also offers good benefits. The 5% 401k match is great, but you have to wait too long to get it (1 year). A 180 day policy would be better. Relocation is good, even if Prudential is a pain to work with.

Cons

Senior management and HR are clueless about middle management incompetence. Caveat emptor. Just because the hiring manager talks a good game doesn't mean that's what you'll experience. In many positions there is no exposure to other groups, and hence no opportunity to advance.

Pros

None. This is the worst company I've ever worked for. The pay is not commeasurate with the amount of work that you were expected to do. Dollar General runs their stores on skeleton crews and each person is expected to do the work of 3 to four people.

Cons

Everything. From dealing with incredibly rude customers, to the pay, to the workload and everything in between. Again, this is the worst company that I have ever worked for and I've definitely had my fair share of jobs in my lifetime.
